5584 Philosophy Of History (3)

Reflecting the instructor's interests and familiarity with the subject, this course will treat the philosophy of history under two relatable forms: (1) the speculative systems of interpretation of world history from Voltaire, through Hegel and Marx to Spengler and Toynbee; and (2) the newer, critical approaches to history and historiography by historicist, analytic, and Marxist philosophers and historians of this past century, from Dilthey, through Collingwood and Ortega to Skinner and Braudel. Depending upon whether the instructor happens to be a specialist in European or in American History the emphasis of content during the course will be altered accordingly.
